MELBOURNE: A woman at a Chinese restaurant in Adelaide is facing legal inquiry after she entered an argument with a waiter and ended up allegedly biting him over price of fish.
A fellow diner recorded the altercation at the Nice Fish Cafe on Gouger Street last June in a mobile video.
The court heard Chungping Quan had ordered half a barramundi, but was told they only served the fish whole.
After eating most of it, she argued over the bill and called police, throwing $26 – half the money owed – at staff.
She then allegedly did a runner with the waiter hot on her heels.
That’s when she is accused of sinking her teeth into him, with a witness saying the waiter was in a headlock.
Whether Quan has bitten off more than she can chew will be determined in the coming weeks when the waiter in question returns from overseas holidays to tell his side of the story, according to the reports.
Asked outside court on Wednesday why she went ahead and ate most of the barramundi, Quan parried the query and said, “I have to talk to my lawyer.”
